ask for lilac, not purple to avoid misunderstandings.

that shade of lilac, only Keycool produces. It's a 37 key set. Haven't seen a full set before.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Thanks for the tip.
I wish colors were more descript. Purple is actually any combination of red and blue, and therefore not a real color.
Whereas lilac and violet are shades of purple named after the flowers, and have actual values associated with them.

I might have to run an IC to see if we can make this set happen. :)

let me give you a warning. light colors really do not do well with white legends. The most unpopular sets have always been those without enough contrast between legend and keycap color.

Lilac will not work unless it is either lasered (dark legend) or with black legends.
